Every once in a while a news story pops up about a parent forgetting his baby somewhere. Sometimes it’s horribly tragic (like when children are left in cars on hot days) and sometimes it all works out mercifully well.

It’s usually fathers (but not always). This guy in Kentucky recently packed up his groceries and drove away, leaving his six-month old in the cart in the parking lot. Thankfully, it all ended well and the distraught father quickly realized his mistake. Still, CPS is going to have to investigate. And that dad must feel like a giant turd.

No one understands parental harriedness like me. I recently managed to lose my keys somewhere in the 10 feet between the front door and my car. I have left many a jug of detergent or package of toilet paper in the shopping cart and driven away. I often leave the house without my wallet. So I get brain overload. I get having too many things to keep track of. The life of a parent can be a many scrambled thing.

But I don’t really get forgetting your baby.

I’m not judging. As I’ve said before, I often find that as soon as I get judgmental about something it becomes manifest in my life. As if the universe is trying to put me in my place. So, I won’t say that I would never forget one of my kids. I suppose it could happen.

But I still find it very hard to imagine. It’s sort of like leaving behind your forearm.

What about you? Have you ever forgotten your child? Even for a second?

I got really freaked out one afternoon because I though I’d lost my newborn. It took me an embarrassing amount of time to realize he was sound asleep ON MY SHOULDER. That’s sleep deprivation at its finest, folks. But I have always been so terrified of leaving the baby somewhere, especially in the car, that I have a whole system of idiot-checks I go through every time I leave the car.

No have never forgotten the baby, but I have forgotten the baby’s stuff on our first outing. It was to the doctor’s office and I forgot my neatly packed diaper bag at home. I arrived and the first thing they had me do is strip her down to weigh her. I threw her diaper out as is was wet and afterwards had nothing to put her in. Thank goodness they have samples there! I also had no blanket to wrap her in while waiting for the doctor and she had to stay undressed. Thankfully it was winter and I had my jacket to wrap her in. Oh and at least I was breastfeeding so she had food. I swear I would forget my breasts if they weren’t attached to me!

Not as a baby, but we did fail to pick her up from kindergarten one afternoon. A case of miscommunication.

Honestly though, I see how it happens. I’m one of those people who functions on autopilot as a matter of survival. So if I’m doing something that’s not normally my thing, there’s every chance I’ll lose track. I can set out to take a detour on my way to work and pull into the parking lot before I realize I failed to stop by the bank on my way in.

@happyhippy LOL I’m sure that was a moment of true panic but it is just so funny because I can TOTALLY see that happening in those first weeks.

I have read/heard of so many stories that I try to be hyper aware, and hassle my husband to do the same. Even when I KNOW I left her at home with daddy I still always check the car seat, just in case. I worry about her constantly anyway so it isn’t hard to just check every time I get in or out of the car. Now, my BIGGEST fear is hitting her with the car. I have a backup camera so I can see everything but my husband’s car doesn’t and I’m always petrified she’ll run out after me when I leave and he won’t notice and….well, I’m so so careful backing up, I hate it.

Wasn’t this EXACT article and discussion JUST had 2 o3 months ago on Babycenter?? I think it was because I was totally berated and put down as thinking I was “perfect” for stating that I NEVER EVER “forgot” a baby/toddler/child anywhere and didn’t understand how it could happen since no one I know has even ever come close to forgetting one of their children.

At any rate, my opinion has not changed. There is just no way I could ever understand it. When you get in in the car w/your child or take them anyplace you have one responsibility -them. I’m sure I’ll get attacked once again for this remark but I sincerely cannot even begin to fathom “forgetting” a baby. That’s just complete irresposnibility. And this is coming from a an overly-busy, full-time working mom – I just don’t get it at all…

I laughed out loud reading the post about losing a newborn on your shoulder! I could totally see that happening! Our minds do weird things when we are exhausted. I’ve never forgotten or lost mine-he’s been much too demanding for that to happen! I have left the house so many times in my houseshoes though! Its kind of a running joke in the family to check my shoes now.

Haha my family went to the store when I was bout 4 and my sister was 2 and when we got home we realized that Sis was no where to be found. We’d left her behind at the grocery store because when all of us piled into the van, she got locked out. (Luckily we lived only a couple blocks away from the store and there she was holding hands with this old lady screaming for our mom.) My mom was frantic, but we laugh about it today.

I have not forgotten my son anywhere yet, but it is my greatest fear that I will forget him in the car. So I end up looking at his carseat about a hundred times before I get out of the car. I can see how it happens, but I haven’t done it yet.

I have THOUGHT I forgot or lost each of my 2 children from time to time when they were babies.

I have never forgotten my babies anywhere. My family has not once, but twice had a tragedy involving a toddler whose caretakers lost track of them, so by the time I was having babies I was (and am) super paranoid about it. It can happen so easily, to some of the best parents I know, so I am not about to take for granted that my kids will be safe.

When I was around 4 or 5 I was a flower girl in a family wedding. As we were leaving the church to go to the reception my older brother was throwing a fit and my parents ended up leaving without me. At the reception they kinda assumed I was with a relative and didn’t question it until the photographer drove back to the chapel for some equipment he left and found me sitting alone in the dark waiting. I was too young to remember, and now we try to laugh about it, but it makes me kinda sad at the same time.

Luckily, not yet, but I do understand how it happens and I am terrified it could…particulalry when doing things out of our routine. Sleep deprivation, the ridiculous amount of multi-tasking now considered the “norm”, and lack of support systems/community make it harder & harder on exhausted parents.

this was discussed a few months ago & if I were on my computer, I would pull up the (heart-breaking, aganozing, haunting) article many people posted that with facts, stats, and stories showed why NO ONE should ever say “never”. Particularly when you have a quiet, non-demanding child, are a new parent, or fulfilling a not-your-usual role, it can happen. If anyone has that link, they should post it.
I had a chuckle out of the baby on the shoulder – I woke up once after my first was born and was frantically going through the sheets on the bed, in coherently muttering. Once hubby could get an answer out of me I told him I was looking for the baby, I had fallen asleep nursing. Hubby turned me around and pointed to baby: snoozing safe & sound in his bassinet. I have known more than one person who shared it is well known family fact their mom/dad forgot them at some point – normally at the store. Btw, the article I mentioned said these types of car incidences were pretty much non-existant prior to the 1980s (i think it was the 80s) because your baby rode next to you in the front so parents couldn’t forget.
my heart goes out to the children & parents who forget their child…either result, and extra amounts to those with tragic results. There is a reason that prior generations lived near family and had the “village to raise a child” mind set.

I have never forgotten my child, but she’s still young. Lol. My mother left me at school one time when I was in kindergarten, it was a hoilday or something. My older sister was home schooled,my older brother was sick, and my younger brother wasn’t in school yet. My mom worked 2 full time jobs. So I understand how it happened. But turned out well the janitor took me home. It’s a good thing she made me learn how to get home. The first time I left the house w/out my baby I freaked out thinking I left her in the house when I was in the driveway. She was safe w/her dad.

I have never forgotten one of my kids, but I was forgotten myself as an older child. I had summer band, and my dad was supposed to pick me up from rehearsal while my mom took my brothers shopping. Apparently he took a nap and completely forgot about me. This was in the days before cell phones, and I was not yet in the habit of carrying a purse so I had no change to call home from a pay phone either. So I hung out in an empty school for about three hours. He was in BIG trouble when my mom found out!

I have had a few occasions where I panicked because I THOUGHT I forgot the baby. I once was leaving the grocery store at a time when I normally would have had my son, got to the car with my bags and in my sleep deprived state, convinced myself I had left my boy in the cart in the store. I was all the way back in the store and at the register before I remembered my son was with his father at home. I’ve had a couple of other moments where I forgot the baby wasn’t with me in the first place, but have never actually forgotten him.

I get it though, I can see how someone could forget a child. When your sleep deprived, a new parent, and especially when your routine is messed with, I think it’s definitely plausible. I understand the idea that leaving your child behind is like leaving a body part behind, but I’ve certainly wondered a few times if I left my brain at home!

I feel horrible for the people this happens to and it ends badly, especially the father who normally does not drive the baby. He doesn’t need to be judged by me; I’m sure he is executing himself in his own head.

My husband and I made a pact when my son was 2 months old to avoid changing our routine at all costs, because that is when things like this happen the most. He always drops off, I always pick up, and when we change things, we double check-in with each when the routine changes.

Never lost either of my kids, but it has always been a fear. It might stem from this though…When I was 7, my dad, uncle, sibs and cousins went on a road trip in our boat of a station wagon. Somewhere in another state, we ended up needing a new tire. At the tire store, my older brother told me (I’m the youngest) that he had to go to the bathroom. I forgot. About 45 mins later (not sure how many miles we drove) my dad asks in a panic….”Where’s Michael?”. I piped in with “He’s in the bathroom!”. He pulled over and called the tire shop and luckily all was good. 30 years later, my brother and I still joke about it.

When our first baby was maybe a month old, my husband and I left her at the church nursery after church and drove home. We didn’t realize we had forgotten her until we got home and went to get her out. The nursery lady was pretty aggravated with us. I guess it was just the habit we had formed over several years, we always went to church and then went home, and we hadn’t gotten used to having a baby yet.

I have the recurring school anxiety dream (it’s finals time and I have forgotten to go to class all semester, and I can’t find the classroom). When I had little children, the dream included having locked a child in the car with the keys. I never did that in real life.

The link Molly posted says it all. I think about that article a lot. I’ve driven places distracted and when I get there can’t remember driving there, just like they described.

The tragic stories make me sad, not angry. I can totally see how it happens. Have I ever done it? No. Could I see myself doing it? No, but I’m sure those who have don’t imagine it happening to them, either. Just this morning on our way to the pediatrician, I turned when I didn’t mean to b/c that’s the way I usually go (Target is that way, the dr is straight). Since I go there more often, I just went by rote memory. So I can see why it happens and how it’s usually dads – I’m assuming they are not the ones who usually do so, and they’re just following their normal schedule.

Ah, but Samantha, you have temporarily forgotten what is different about your children — they came in twos! you never had the experience, I will bet, of having a completely silent baby in the car, facing backwards. It’s eerily easy to forget they are there if you can’t see or hear them. I had harsh PPD which made me super anxious about Vi’s whereabouts, I still one time left her in the car when I was taking groceries out. I swiftly remembered when I got to the door without her, but if I’d been going to a place where I didn’t expect to see her, say, work, who knows what would have happened. Meanwhile, you definitely need to read this: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/02/27/AR2009022701549.html It won the Pulitzer Prize and you will NEVER EVER again wonder how someone could do this.

I can kind of understand how it can happen. I have left my baby on the bed asleep, gone to put some clothes in the washer. I passed by her crib and freaked out because she wasn’t in it. Where was she? On the bed asleep. I have an almost 4 year old, and when we drive off somewhere I always ask him if his sister is in the carseat next to him. I just can’t trust myself, because in a split second a tragedy can happen….

When we were saying our goodbyes at the daycare center in Sydney, I left the baby there as my girls and I proceeded to leave. I guess he was playing quietly and the rest of us were distracted in a pile of hugs and goodbyes. I remembered as soon as we were outside though and he was none the wiser

I’m still pregnant, so I haven’t forgotten my child so far. I have been placing my purse in the car seat, so everytime I get out of the car, i have to look in the back seat/car seat. I am not sure if this will help at all when Sophia is born, but it helps my anxiety now. I am very scared of possibly forgetting my child in the future.

Memory: When I was 7 my mom was supposed to drive me to school. We ended up listening to the radio and having a conversation. She completely forgot where she was going, and drove 20 mins to work instead of 5 mins to my school. She was super late for work, since she had to take me back to school. Then she was mad that I didn’t speak up that we were going in the wrong direction. I just thought she was taking me to work that day…lol! We laugh about it now, but seriously! We were having a conversation and she still forgot I was in the car and needed to go to school…lol!

It’s very sad, and disheartening to hear these stories. I once had my son in the backseat, and he’s normally rambunctious in the car, but this one particular day he was quiet and content as his father and I were having a discussion. We drove right past the exit to his daycare, and 10mins later felt something was wrong. I said, wait a minute where are we? And looked in the backseat, and there he was just sitting there quietly looking out the window. We almost took him all the way to work. Luckily we realized sooner rather than later and everything was ok. We constantly check for him all the time, and when either of us take him to daycare solo, we always check with the other

There are times when I REALLY have to think, “OK, where is G today? Did I drop her at preschool? Grandma’s?” After a long day at work, the morning was long forgotten. I’ve driven to preschool before, only to keep going because I realized at the last second that it was a Grandma day.

I was severely sleep deprived when my DD was only a few months old. DH was out of town for a couple weeks and I was still attending college full time. My mom watches her grandkids during the day while we all work or go to school. I left class one evening to head to my mom’s house to pick up DD. I drove all the way to my mom’s, went in gave everybody hugs and kisses, asked how their day went, picked up the diaper bag and walked out the door. I got a call about 3 minutes later from my mom, I had left my daughter in her arms and walked out the door with my niece’s diaper bag. My mom told me to turn around, bring back the diaper bag and then sleep in the guest room. A really good thing, because if I was that loopy I should not have been driving myself and my baby home to be alone.
Sleep deprivation can lead to all kinds of innocent stupidity. Parents get overwhelmed, and sleep deprived. we have a million things going on all at the same time. It’s understandable that things happen. We just need to focus on utilizing mental tools to minimize those things. Like knowing when we need to just take a break/nap, a mental checklist for getting in and out of the house or car, or even setting reminders on our phones if need be. I have a reminder on my phone for baths. Sometimes I get so caught up in the flow of the day that I forget what day it is and whether DD had a bath yesterday or not.

I have never forgotten any of my babies in the car. My first child hated being in the car, and screamed most of the time she was in there, and I pretty much never drove DD#2 anywhere at all. I don’t think it is something I could do, because when my dad taught me how to drive, he always told me to put my purse, etc in the back seat (I think he knew then that I could be easily distracted). I have always put my stuff in the back, so looking back there is something I always do. I feel for any parent who makes this mistake though.

I am super paranoid about forgetting her but I can see how it could happen.

Sleep depervation is tricky, I put my LO in her highchair weird once and her leg was folded at the knee. My first thought her leg had fallen off!

I have not forgotten my child yet. But, a while back I saw a movie were a dad left a toddler in his truck to go look at some deer. When he got back the child had unbuckled himself and wondered off. It was starting to snow as you can probably guess ths was not a “feel good” film. I have super paranoided about it ever since. I am scattered brained but I tend to over compensate with lists, notes, checks, and everything in my home has its place. But, I could see myself doing this. Which it why it worries me so much.

My mom was super forgetful. I am not sure if she ever forgot us as babies but as a child it was a weekly event. She would forget to pick us up from school, forget us at grandma’s, left my sister at a store once, drove off from church with me half in the car. My brother walked home fom football practice in his gear more than once and my mom would demand to know why he was out after curfew when he got home!

As a child I was lost/forgotten in a department store, which I assume was pretty awful for my parents. They’d moved on and I’d decided to stay and read the Mr Men books on the stand completely oblivious. What can I say? I frickin’ loved Mr Men books!!

@HappyHippy gosh I’ve done that with so many things I wouldn’t put that past me either! And @Mel… DO be cautious.

I have never left my baby somewhere, but I did once leave my then 3 year old at the grocery store. We went to the car. I had my hands full with the other child whose car seat is on my side of the car. I went and threw her in, and then climbed in my side and started to drive away. I got a little ways down the road, realized I was missing my child, and got very, very frantic. I thought I was having a panic attack.

She had calmly walked inside when I drove away and told the check out lady. She was just sitting there with the lady when I came running and crying in the store. No excuses, but there was a lot going on in my life at that moment. Trust me, no one wants or chooses to ever leave a child somewhere. I was sick to my stomach for days after, and every time I go to that store I feel slightly sick. Don’t throw stones!!!!

It does make me think of a VERY RELIABLE woman I know. She used a grocery store that would box up the groceries, put them on the conveyor, and then you drive your car up to pick them up. While she got out of her car to put the groceries in, one of her children got out also, and since she had no idea he got out, she hopped in the car and drove home (about 20-30 miles). When she got home she asked her other THREE children where he was. Their reply was that he was still at the grocery store. When she asked them why they had not said anything, they told her that she had not asked where he was!!! Got to laugh at that, because if she did not know he was missing, how could she ask where he was?

Moral of the stories…. don’t pass judgement. You never know what might happen. Am I proud of what happened to me? Absolutely not, but I did not try to make it happen either. You don’t know what might happen…
